Poha Sweet Pongal, Aval Sakkarai Pongal Recipe

January 12, 2014 by Sharmilee J 11 Comments

Aval Sakkarai Pongal Recipe

I wanted to post a simple yet interesting sweet pongal recipe this year.After discussing with perimma I thought of trying rava sweet pongal,then changed my mind when I saw karumbu pongal in the chettinad cookbook but getting karumbu chaaru and then making the pongal was a hurdle for me….so left the thought of making new post itself this year.

Yesterday when I woke up, suddenly the idea of making poha sweet pongal striked me and here comes this post for pongal 2014 🙂 Aval Sakkarai Pongal is very simple and easy to make…It turned out delicious and I loved it to the core.

Wishing you all a very Happy Pongal 2014!!

Poha Sweet Pongal

My Notes:

  • I cooked dal in the same pan I roasted and it took some time to get cooked meanwhile I was grating jaggery :)Instead you can even pressure cook it for 3 whistles with enough water.
  • Pongal gets thicker in consistency after cooling down so switch off accordingly. If it gets dry, while serving add little ghee and milk.
  • I used paagu velam to get the dark brown color and also for the taste….You can use normal round jaggery too.
  • You can also use saffron if you like the flavour.
  • Drizzle ghee and garnish with cashews,raisins while serving, tastes yumm!!
